It's going to be a fun end of the season."How do you go from where you are to where you want to be? I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal, and you have to be willing to work for it." - Jim Valvano -
Going to ISUblue scares me. We got absolutely man-handled in Bloomington and then the Redbirds lose to the Sycamores on the road. Helped that Osiris didn't make a field goal and finished with just a handful of free throws and fouled out.Comment

Just watched the game- I never heard whether Osiris was ill or something, but he played about as bad a game as it's possible to play.
He 0-7 from the field, and he took some low-percentage shots. He defended Harry Marshall the entire game, and Marshall had a big game for Indiana State with 18 points, and 10-11 from the free throw line. Osiris fouled out in the last minute of the game. Odiakosa had another big game with 21 points and 9 rebounds, but nobody else for Illinois State did much. So both teams now join the logjam at 6-6.Comment

Really enjoyed watching this game.
Who was the clown doing color with Pegler? He never stopped crying about the refs.Comment

He also moaned every time the Sycamores made a shot and acted like it was a lucky fluke.Comment

Man if the rest of the games stay the way they are, we'll have 6 teams at 6-6 with 6 games to go in conference, talking about 3rd to 8th being up for grabs, holy cow
EDIT: Well I guess that'll be true if Evansville can come back now against Creighton as Creighton seems to have come out on fire in the 2nd half to take the leadComment

Would love for Evansville and SIU to win... decrease that logjam. Also, UNI may as well win this and run away with the league... puts Wichita State closer to the bunch.

Shuckers definitely not safe at 8-4 with a couple more tough roadies looming, despite playing EU twice. magic number is 11-7 to play friday nightComment

I've never seen a year this messed up in the Valley. Throw out UNI and Evansville and you are left with eight very evenly matched teams! This is either good or bad. Bad if they are all mediocre or good if they are all good teams who have gotten better and happen to be beating up on each other. Either way, next year ought to be one heck of a year in the Valley!Originally posted by DUBrave5 View PostComment

If we he really played 37 minutes that would be very odd if he was ill? wouldn't it?Originally posted by Da Coach View PostComment

This is a team we MUST beat in Peoria! They are absolutely horrible on the road, and unlike Creighton, I see no upside potential in this team. A home loss would be embarrassing for us!Comment

How bout them trees?
I would say I told you so but at this point I think it would be a little early...I am super excited for our usual back to back loss swing at WSU and Creighton..I think we can win...I really do...this is an extremely resilient team, they just dont quit...ask Missouri State and hell you guys know lol Anybody still up for a brewski before or after the game in T-haute?Comment

you are being kind...way kinder than the Redbird fans are being to their own superstar...Originally posted by Da Coach View Post
Eldridge shot worse than Chris Dudley, but then couldn't have guarded Janks mother either...
as Harry Marshall had his way all night...
In fact, of Osiris Edlridge's five fouls, one was a charging call late in the game when a basket would have gotten them to within 2 points and a basket and a foul would have made it a one point game!
....so this was a very crucial turnover and foul and gave Osiris four fouls, setting the stage for the final collapse...
Then the other four fouls were all committed trying to guard Marshall (who is 3" shorter than Osiris), and those four fouls
led to seven made free throws and a total of 9 of Marshall's points!Comment
